MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion compares the financial condition of CBES Bancorp, Inc.
(the "Company") and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Community Bank of Excelsior
Springs, a Savings Bank, (the "Bank") at December 31, 1998 to the financial
condition at June 30, 1998, its fiscal year-end, and the results of operations
for the three months and six months ended December 31, 1998, with the same
periods in 1997. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the interim
financial statements and notes which are included herein. This Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q may contain certain forward-looking statements consisting of
estimates with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and
business of the Company that are subject to various factors which could cause
actual results to differ materially from these estimates. These factors include,
but are not limited to, general economic conditions, changes in interest rates,
deposit flows, loan demand, real estate values, and competition; changes in
accounting principles, policies, or guidelines; changes in legislation or
regulation; and other economic, competitive, governmental, regulatory, and
technological factors affecting the Company's operations, pricing, products and
services.
GENERAL
- -------
The Company was organized as a Delaware corporation in June 1996 to acquire all
of the capital stock issued by the Bank upon its conversion from the mutual to
stock form of ownership. The Bank was founded in 1931 as a Missouri chartered
savings and loan association located in Excelsior Springs, Missouri. In 1995,
its members voted to convert to a federal charter. The business of the holding
company consists primarily of the business of the Bank. The deposits of the Bank
are presently insured by the Savings Association Insurance Fund ("SAIF"), which
together with the Bank Insurance Fund ("BIF") are the two insurance funds
administered by the FDIC.
The Bank conducts its business through its main office in Excelsior Springs,
Clay County, Missouri and its full service branch offices located in Kearney and
Liberty, both in Clay County, Missouri. The Liberty office opened on March 16,
1998. On December 30, 1998 the Bank purchased a building in Kearney, Missouri
from another financial institution. The Bank intends to relocate its Kearney
office from the current leased facility to the new location in March 1999. The
purchase price of the building, together with furniture, fixtures, and
equipment, was $1.0 million. The Bank has been, and intends to continue to be, a
community oriented financial institution offering selected financial services to
meet the needs of the communities it serves. The Bank attracts deposits from the
general public and historically has used such deposits, together with other
funds, primarily to originate one-to-four family residential mortgage loans,
construction and land loans for single-family residential properties, and
consumer loans consisting primarily of loans secured by automobiles. While the
Bank's primary business has been that of a traditional thrift institution,
originating loans in its primary market area for retention in its portfolio, the
Bank also has been an active participant in the secondary market, originating
residential mortgage loans for sale.
The most significant outside factors influencing the operations of the Bank and
other financial institutions include general economic conditions, competition in
the local market place and the related monetary and fiscal policies of agencies
that regulate financial institutions. More specifically, the cost of funds
primarily consisting of insured deposits is influenced by interest rates on
competing investments and general market rates of interest, while lending
activities are influenced by the demand for real estate financing and other
types of loans, which in turn is affected by the interest rates at which such
loans may be offered and other factors affecting loan demand and funds
availability.
Congress may consider legislation requiring all federal thrift institutions,
such as the Bank, to either convert to a national bank or a state depository
institution. In addition, the Company might no longer be regulated as a thrift
holding company, but rather as a bank holding company. The Office of Thrift
Supervision ("OTS") also might be abolished and its functions transferred among
the federal banking regulators. There can be no assurance as to whether or in
what form such legislation will be enacted or, if enacted, its effect on the
Company and the Bank.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
- -------------------
Total assets increased $25.3 million, or 20.4%, to $149.2 at December 31, 1998
from $123.9 million at June 30, 1998. This was primarily due to an increase in
net loans receivable and loans held for sale of $20.2 million, which were funded
primarily with FHLB advances and deposit accounts.
Net loans receivable and loans held for sale increased by $20.2 million, or
17.6%, to $135.0 million at December 31, 1998 from $114.8 million at June 30,
1998 primarily due to increases in one-to-four family portfolio loans of $13.9
million, land loans of $2.2 million, consumer loans of $1.5 million, and loans
held for sale of $1.1 million. Loans held for sale are loans that are contracted
to be sold in the secondary market, but have not been funded. The increase in
net loans receivable is attributable to increased loan originations since the
opening of the Liberty branch office. Mortgage loan originations have increased
to $75.2 million during the six months ended December 31, 1998, compared to
$38.3 million for the corresponding six months of 1997. Of the $13.9 million
increase in one-to-four family portfolio loans, approximately $6.4 million were
a special 5/1 adjustable rate loan primarily available to first time home
buyers, approximately $2.0 million were one year adjustable rate loans that had
a minor variance from conforming standards, such as the number of acres on the
loan or a minor credit requirement variance, and approximately $0.8 million were
one year adjustable rate loans that have a loan-to-value ratio greater than 80%,
with no private mortgage insurance.
Deposits increased $11.8 million, or 13.8%, to $97.6 million at December 31,
1998 from $85.8 million at June 30, 1998. The increase in deposits is primarily
due to $12.1 million in new certificates of deposit.
FHLB advances increased $14.5 million, or 74.4%, to $34.0 million at December
31, 1998 from $19.5 million at June 30, 1998. These advances ranged in term from
one to three years, and approximately half were callable advances. The FHLB
advances were primarily used to fund loans.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
- ----
Performance Summary. In the three months ended December 31, 1998, the Company
had net earnings of $126,000 compared to net earnings of $211,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997. The most significant items causing the decrease
in earnings were an increase in net interest income of $30,000 an increase in
non-interest income of $215,000, offset by an increase in non-interest expense
of $248,000, and an increase in the provision for loan loss of $135,000.
Net Interest Income. For the three months ended December 31, 1998, net interest
income increased $30,000, or 2.5%, to $1,219,000 from $1,189,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997. The increase reflected an increase of $632,000
in interest income, to $2,923,000 from $2,291,000 offset by an increase of
$602,000 in interest expense to $1,704,000 from $1,102,000.
Provision for Loan Losses. During the three months ended December 31, 1998, the
Bank charged $177,000 against earnings as a provision for loan losses compared
to a provision of $42,000 for the three months ended December 31, 1997. This
provision resulted in an allowance for loan losses of $876,000 or .64% of loans
receivable, net at December 31, 1998 compared to $669,000, or .58% of loans
receivable, net at June 30, 1998. The allowance for loan losses is based on a
detailed review of nonperforming and other problem loans, prevailing economic
conditions, actual loss experience and other factors which, in management's
view, recognizes the changing composition of the Bank's loan portfolio and the
inherent risk associated with different types of loans.
Approximately $100,000 of the increased provision was due to increased loans
receivable. The remainder of the increase was attributable to specific
multifamily and construction loans which, based upon analysis by management and
application of the Company's methodology for establishing the allowance,
required additional reserves.

Management will continue to monitor its allowance for loan losses and make
future additions to the allowance through the provision for loan losses as
economic conditions dictate. Although the Bank maintains its allowance for loan
losses at a level which it considers to be adequate to provide for potential
losses, there can be no assurance that future losses will not exceed estimated
amounts or that additional provisions for loan losses will not be required in
future periods.
Non-Interest Income. For the three months ended December 31, 1998, non-interest
income increased $215,000 to $408,000 from $192,000 for the prior year period
primarily due to an increase in gain on the sale of loans of $214,000.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $248,000 to $1,255,000
for the three months ended December 31, 1998 from $1,008,000 for the three
months ended December 31, 1997. Of this increase, $158,000 was due to office
property and equipment expense, of which $166,000 was attributable to Year 2000
expenses, including capitalized computer hardware of $63,000, $17,000 was due
to advertising, and $77,000 was due to other non-interest expense, consisting of
mortgage loan expenses, professional fees and telephone expense. The increase
in non-interest expense is primarily due to Year 2000 costs and the Company
pursuing its plan of controlled growth, part of that being the opening of the
branch office in Liberty, Missouri.
COMPARISON OF OPERATING RESULTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1997
- ----
Performance Summary. In the six months ended December 31, 1998, the Company had
net earnings of $405,000 compared to net earnings of $516,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997. The most significant items causing the decrease in
earnings were an increase in net interest income of $232,000 and an increase in
non-interest income of $287,000, offset by an increase in non-interest expense
of $580,000, and an increase in provision for loan loss of $130,000.
Net Interest Income. For the six months ended December 31, 1998, net interest
income increased by $232,000, or 9.9%, to $2,571,000 from $2,339,000 for the six
months ended December 31, 1997. The increase reflected an increase of
$1,257,000 in interest income, to $5,716,000 from $4,459,000 and an increase of
$1,025,000 in interest expense to $3,145,000 from $2,120,000.
Provision for Loan Losses. During the six months ended December 31, 1998, the
Bank charged $252,000 against earnings as a provision for loan losses compared
to a provision of $122,000 for the six months ended December 31, 1997.
Non-Interest Income. For the six months ended December 31, 1998, non-interest
income increased $288,000 to $651,000 from $363,000 for the prior year period
primarily due to an increase in gain on the sale of loans of $298,000.
Non-Interest Expense. Non-interest expense increased by $580,000 to $2,332,000
for the six months ended December 31, 1998 from $1,752,000 for the six months
ended December 31, 1997. Of this increase, $307,000 was attributable to
compensation expense due to an increase in the number of employees and general
wage increases, offset by a decrease in the ESOP plan expense of $13,000, and a
decrease in the Recognition and Retention Plan expense of $107,000. $262,000
was due to office property and equipment expense, of which $227,000 was
attributable to Year 2000 expenses, including capitalized computer hardware of
$97,000, $25,000 was due to advertising, and $152,000 was due to other non-
interest expense, consisting of mortgage loan expenses, professional fees and
telephone expense. The six months ended December 31, 1997 included $146,000
expense due to the immediate vesting of one year of the RRP.
NON-PERFORMING ASSETS
- ---------------------
On December 31, 1998, nonperforming assets were $3,436,000 compared to $732,000
on June 30, 1998. The balance of the Bank's allowance for loan losses was
$876,000 at December 31, 1998, or 25.5% of nonperforming assets. Loans are
considered nonperforming when the collection of principal and/or interest is not
probable, or in the event payments
<PAGE>
10
are more than ninety days delinquent.
The $2,704,000 increase in nonperforming assets was primarily due to an increase
in one-to-four family non-accruing construction loans of $763,000, an increase
in non-accruing land loans of $535,000, an increase in accruing construction
loans greater than ninety days delinquent of $921,000, and an increase in
foreclosed assets of $297,000.
Part of the increase is due to the Bank having shifted to monthly interest
payments on construction loans, $1,684,000 of which were delinquent at December
31, 1998. The Bank has increased its collection efforts on these loans, and such
efforts have resulted in seven construction loans with balances of $921,000
being current as of February 2, 1999.
CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -----------------
The Bank is subject to capital to asset requirements in accordance with Office
of Thrift Supervision regulations. The following table is a summary of the
Bank's regulatory capital requirements versus actual capital as of December 31,
1998:

Risk-based capital $14,452 13.82% 8,367 8.00% 6,085 5.82%
</TABLE>
- ---------
Liquidity
- --------
The Bank's principal sources of funds are deposits, principal and interest
payments on loans, and deposits in other insured institutions. While scheduled
loan repayments and maturing investments are relatively predictable, deposit
flows and early loan prepayments are more influenced by interest rates, general
economic conditions and competition. Additional sources of funds may be obtained
from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Des Moines by utilizing numerous available
products to meet funding needs.
The Bank is required to maintain levels of liquid assets as defined by
regulations. The required percentage is currently 4% of net withdrawable savings
deposits and borrowings payable on demand or in one year or less. The eligible
liquidity ratios at December 31, 1998 and June 30, 1998 were 4.90% and 4.01%,
respectively.
In light of the competition for deposits, the Bank may utilize the funding
sources of the Federal Home Loan Bank to meet demand in accordance with the
Bank's growth plans. The wholesale funding sources may allow the Bank to obtain
a lower cost of funding and create a more efficient liability match to the
respective assets being funded. Given the current strong loan demand, it may be
necessary for the Bank to continue to use advances.
For purposes of the cash flow statements, all short-term investments with a
maturity of three months or less at date of purchase are considered cash
equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 1998 and 1997 were
$5,867,137 and $6,182,356 respectively.
Cash flows from operating activities. Net cash used in operating activities was
$730,000 during the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared to $152,000
provided by operating activities during the same period in 1997. The change was
primarily due to an increase in the proceeds from the sale of loans held for
sale of $12,515,000, and an increase in the gain on sale of loans, net of
$298,000, offset by an increase in the originations of loans held for sale of
$12,997,000.

Cash flows from investing activities. Net cash of $21.3 million was used in
investing activities for the six months ended December 31, 1998 versus $7.4
million for the six months ended December 31, 1997. The increase was primarily
due to an increase in loans receivable of $19.4 million during the six months
ended December 31, 1998 versus a $8.2 million increase during the same period
in 1997.
Cash flows from financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities
was $24.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 compared to $9.3
million during the same period in 1997. The increase in cash flows from
financing activities is primarily due to an increase in FHLB advances of $14.5
million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 versus an increase of $1.5
million for the same period in 1997, and an increase in deposits of $11.8
million for the six months ended December 31, 1998 versus an increase of $9.4
million for the same period in 1997.
IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS
The Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 133,
"Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities", in June 1998.
SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for derivative
instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other
contracts, and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize all
derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the statement of financial
position and measure those instruments at fair value. This Statement is
effective for all fiscal quarters beginning after June 15, 1999. Management
believes adoption of SFAS No. 133 will not have a material effect on the
Company's financial position or results of operations, nor will adoption require
additional capital resources.
YEAR 2000 ISSUE
The Board of Directors and the Management of the Bank have established a formal
process for the implementation of a plan to evaluate and correct the problems
that the Year 2000 could cause to the Bank's critical automated systems. The
Year 2000 problem exists because many automated systems use only two digit
fields to represent the year, such as "98" representing 1998. However, with the
two digit format, the Year 2000 is indistinguishable from 1900, 2001 from 1901,
and so on. Should these critical systems fail in the year 2000, the Bank would
have difficulty in processing transactions for loans and deposit customers,
which could cause significant damage to the Bank's important customer
relationships. Since the Bank does not develop any of the software programs
that are utilized, the process is focused on follow-up and testing of software
provided by third party vendors and data centers to ensure their compliance with
the Year 2000 issue.
In calendar year 1997, Management implemented a Year 2000 process using the
standard framework set forth by the Federal Financial Institutions Examination
Council, which includes separate phases for awareness, assessment, renovation,
validation, and implementation. In the awareness phase, Management committed
resources and established a Year 2000 committee consisting of managers from all
departments of the Bank. This committee proceeded through the assessment phase,
which included an analysis of the Year 2000 impact on all hardware, software,
electronic equipment; identifying the Bank's critical business processes;
developing priorities by risk; gaining commitment from vendors and service
providers; and evaluating the impact on the Bank's customers. The renovation
phase is currently underway and will include the replacement or elimination of
non-compliant software, hardware, and vendors. In the validation phase, the
committee will test all renovated systems and test all data exchanges with
outside organizations. In the implementation phase, all renovated systems will
be put into service. To date, the Bank has completed the awareness and
assessment phases, and is nearing the end of the renovation phase. The
validation and implementation phases are scheduled to be complete by March 31,
1999. For the six months ended December 31, 1998 Year 2000 costs are $227,000,
including $97,000 in capitalized computer hardware. Management estimates
additional Year 2000 costs of $80,000, including $30,000 in capitalized computer
hardware.
Data processing of the Bank's core operations is provided by a third party
service bureau. The Bank has actively participated in testing procedures, and
it continues to prudently monitor the progress reports from the vendor. The
Bank's Year 2000 process also includes the evaluation of phone systems, alarm
systems, funds transfer providers, and all hardware and software on its wide-
area network ("WAN").

The company is in the process of finalizing its Year 2000 contingency plan for
each of the Bank's critical automated systems. The contingency plan will be
implemented if any of the critical systems should fail to become Year 2000
compliant by certain target dates. Management expects the plan to be completed
by February 28, 1999, but it also plans to make updates to the contingency plans
on an ongoing basis. The third party service bureau has also formulated a
contingency plan, which Management is incorporating into the Bank's overall
contingency plan.
The Board of Directors is updated on the status of the Year 2000 process on
regular intervals. Management believes that the Bank's Year 2000 process is
adequate to ensure that all mission critical systems will be Year 2000
compliant.
